Due to a temporary electrical fault, three bags of dollar bills were not shredded.  To compound the situation, it was not burnt because they were late in delivery to the furnace on Friday and it will be burnt when the furnace reopens in 3 days time on Monday.  Only Eric Tsang noticed it and he invited his friends to steal the bags before they are burnt.  Lin Ching Hsia plays Sister Marie, the nun who tries to save them from their greed.  Sister Marie is a nun who knows Kung Fu and rides a scooter.  She even saves Eric Tsang from a van overridden with snakes.  Lau Ka Leung plays Carl Mak's shifu (master).  Sister Marie gets into all sorts of situations trying to save them from temptation.

This is a slapstick movie.  Some slapstick situations in this movie are way beyond me regardless of whether there is dialogue or not. Click here for the conclusion.

This must be the only movie where Brigitte Lin wore the same dress throughout the whole show.  Even in 800 Heroes, she wore 2 costumes.  She, of course, wore the nun's habit in this movie.

In this show, Brigitte's guts must be admired.  She rides the scooter dangerously, grabs a snake, hoover in the air, climb up a high crane, does somersaults and scuba dives.
